It's a newsbroadcast or so... I think that's why they repeat it?

And they weren't comparing Ayu to Koda and the other way around, they mentioned "Avex" something and then showed Avex best artists at this moment (?) I think, and those are most likely Ku and Ayu. ^^

[Tasked]

Yeah. Ayu is considered THE avex-artist, so she usually has the most footage and her name is mentioned first.. And artists as Ai Otsuka and Koda Kumi are also very important avex-artists at the moment.

[Keishi]

She's being ambiguous.

[ayu1m]

whaaat o_O I dont understand? ^

[evolution7931]

ambiguous:

1. open to or having several possible meanings or interpretations; equivocal: an ambiguous answer.
2. Linguistics. (of an expression) exhibiting constructional homonymity; having two or more structural descriptions, as the sequence Flying planes can be dangerous.
3. of doubtful or uncertain nature; difficult to comprehend, distinguish, or classify: a rock of ambiguous character.

what the hell, chriskay?

[etheruraura]

Its just her arm, some people on another forum made a big deal out of nothing - being the Ayu haters they are

[evolution7931]

If you think that's her boob or something, then you must not have any knowledge of the female body... who's boob is up by their COLLAR BONE?

[Tasked]

Lolz if that'd be Ayu's boob she'd have some weird anatomy xD it's practically on her shoulder xD

[Keishi]

I've never said I'm talking about her boobs.


But I don't mean I'm not talking about it, either. XD

You mean promiscuous. Try not to strain your brain with big words next time CK


I think Kuu is just perfect in this performance. But Ai...well that's an embaressment.

[truehappiness]

I was like 'Ayu's ambiguous?' What does that mean in this context?.. o_o

[~*Mabushii*~]

Lets repeat the same bits of Ayu and Kuu over and over and over.. hmmm
thanks either way! ^_^;; Ayu didnt sound too bad.. although she sounds like her throat was sore/she has nasal stuffyness...
aka.. she sounds like i do right now!

[ruixiong89]

Just for the entire Ayu Koda comparison thing, it's the title in the second and third repeat of the video sequences:

"あゆ,倖田-夏ライプ　セクシー競演"

which literally translates to

"Ayu,Koumi (Shortened form of Koda Kumi) - Summer Live, Sexy Competitive Performance"

However, the "sexy competitive performance" part cannot be taken literally, it doesn't mean that they're having a competition to see who's more sexy. As certain meanings are lost in translation, hence let me offer the more proper translation of this phrase.

What it actually means is the general trend of this year's A+Nation towards the sexy image. It's called "sexy competitive" because the artistes are performing back to back on A+Nation itself and it seems as if the sexy nature of their attires brings about "competitive performance".

All in all, this shouldn't be a concern because the description is loaded with cultural understanding. Hence, you could just take this as this year's general trend of A+Nation artistes to adopt the sexy image.

It was funny how it was repeated. I was like, "At this rate, I'll have the Startin' performance memorized before the DVD even comes out. xP"

(I'm probably just REALLY tired), but is evolution usually performed at a-nation?

[truehappiness]

No.

The setlist this year is TOTALLY different from the usual. Most of the time, a lot of songs from H are used.. this time, they totally revamped it up and stuck in a bunch of oldies [B&G, evolution, SEASONS, A song for XX..]

But they usually have the spring / summer singles, like last year there was fairyland and STEP you/is this LOVE? as well as Greatful days..

and on a totally random note:

AAA IS ON THE TOP OMG but Ayu is no.2 O_O
